§ 3. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs what arrangements Her Majesty's Government have made on behalf of the British Broadcasting Corporation for the relaying of programmes by Radio Zambia; for what purposes; and on what terms.
§ Mr. Biggs-DavisonIs it a fact that nothing is relayed through Radio Zambia by the B.B.C? If that is the case, why is it that so many people have the impression that the B.B.C., rightly or wrongly, is linked with incitements to violence which have been broadcast by Radio Zambia?
§ Mrs. HartThere are two issues involved. One is the extent to which Radio Zambia rebroadcasts B.B.C. programmes. In fact, it only rebroadcasts a weekly sports programme from the B.B.C. The B.B.C. broadcasts no programmes from Radio Zambia and has not done so. If there is a false impression about that, I can only suggest that it comes from the propaganda of the Rhodesian régime.
